PREFACE

Airports Authority of India developed its first Corporate Safety Management System Manual in 2005. This manual was developed on the basis of best industry practices and contained all the elements present in the then draft Safety Management Manual issued by ICAO.

ICAO published its first edition of Safety Management Manual (Doc. 9859) in 2006. Accordingly, Airports Authority of India revised its Corporate Safety Management Manual in 2009 as per ICAO SMS framework. This Corporate Safety Management Manual was approved by AAI Board in its 130th meeting and the same was accepted by DGCA.

The DGCA issued a Civil Aviation Requirement Section 1 General Series C Part I on July 20, 2010 for the Establishment of a Safety Management System (SMS) based on the guidelines contained in the second edition of Safety Management Manual (Doc 9859), which was published by ICAO in 2009. It details the various requirements that need to be fulfilled for establishing a SMS and calls for a phase wise implementation of SMS.

The first phase of SMS implementation was successfully completed by AAI in 2010 wherein the Safety Policy & Objectives of AAI were revised. Gap analysis with regulatory requirements & SMS Implementation Plan were also prepared and approved by AAI Board. Most of the elements required for the other phases of SMS Implementation are already in place and are being followed in AAI. The Safety Management Manual of AAI has now further been revised and redesigned as per the DGCA CAR and is being issued as third version or edition. It contains all the components and elements of SMS as envisaged by DGCA CAR. The DGCA accepted AAI corporate SMS manual on 20th May, 2013.

Safeties accountabilities, responsibilities and authorities of top management of AAI have been defined, documented and have been included in the revised version of the Corporate Safety Management manual. The Manual has also been simplified for easy reading and an effort has also been made to make its practices and procedures user friendly.

The purpose of this document is to assist AAI in complying with all national regulations on SMS and details practices and procedures to meet these regulations. The attachments to this Manual provide helpful tool and templates to complete this job.

I, therefore, call upon all the employees of AAI to comply with all the national regulations on SMS and follow the practices and procedures of SMS as given in our Manual to enhance safety in our organization.

(V.P. AGRAWAL)

Chairman

C. Scheme of Safety Manuals in AAI

An Air Traffic Service provider, a licensed aerodrome or an aerodrome applying for aerodrome licensing are required to establish and maintain Safety Management Manual as per DGCA CAR on SMS issued on 20th July, 2010.


______________________________________________________________________________________


Corporate SMS Manual has been developed for the Airports Authority of India and is applicable at all its locations/aerodromes and Air Navigation Services. The safety accountabilities, responsibilities and authorities of top management including Board Members of AAI have been documented in Corporate SMS Manual.

Each licensed aerodrome, aerodrome applying for Aerodrome license and Air Traffic Service provider units are required to develop their Safety Management System (SMS) Manual. SMS Manual should document Safety Accountabilities, responsibilities and authorities of top Management of the aerodrome/location including all HODs. It may also include all local practices to improve and enhance safety that are being practiced at aerodrome/location.

Where Airports Authority of India is providing both air navigation services and aerodrome operations, a single Safety Management System Manual covering both the aspects, may be developed.

For larger aerodromes / locations separate Safety management System Manuals, one for Air Navigation Services and another for Aerodrome operations may be developed. Since some of the functions in the both Safety management System manuals may overlap, it shall be advisable to make these manuals compatible to each other and to the Safety management System Manual of other stakeholders.

At Civil Enclaves managed by Airports Authority of India, the safety accountabilities, responsibilities and authorities of local management should be documented and Standard Operated Procedures (SOPs) may be developed for the operational area under the jurisdiction of Airports Authority of India. There is no need to prepare a separate Safety Management Manual; however, all guidelines contained in Corporate Management System Manual shall be followed.

D. Scope of the Manual

This SMS Manual applies to all Airports Authority of India (AAI) employees, and AAIs various directorates whose activities may directly or indirectly have a bearing on the safety of Air Traffic Services, Aeronautical Telecommunications Service or Aerodrome Operations.

E. Limitations to the Scope of SMS

This SMS Manual is NOT specifically designed to cover issues outside the scope of aviation hazards; such as occupational health and safety requirements, security requirements, or other non-airside activities such as


______________________________________________________________________________________


terminals. However, any facet of Terminal Building e.g. Aerobridges, design or structure which may directly or indirectly affect aircraft safety, shall be covered by this SMS.

F. Review of the Manual

The Safety Management System (SMS) Manuals shall be reviewed every 12 months.

This review shall be conducted by Aviation Safety Directorate and shall consider the following points:

Is there any evidence that the processes and procedures in the SMS Manual have contributed to a less safe situation?

Is there evidence which indicates that SMS Manual requires improvement in any aspect?

Is there evidence that the SMS Manual has contributed to an improvement in the overall safety culture and safety achievements of the organisation?

What needs to be incorporated in the next version of the SMS Manual in order to achieve the aim of constant incremental improvement in the organisation?

What housekeeping tasks are necessary for the Safety Management System Manual?

What feedback has been received in the last year concerning the Safety Management System, the SMS Manual (including all its practices and procedures), and what needs to be done to improve the amount of feedback received?

Assessment of impact upon introduction of any changes in ATS and Aerodrome system operations in the last year;

Arrange for a review of the Safety Management System (SMS) Manuals of all licensed Aerodromes and other locations in coordination with their Safety Managers in order to identify:

o any local safety issue in the SMS Manual that needs addressing;

o any local deviation from the Corporate SMS Manual that is worthy of being incorporated into the Corporate SMS Manual; and

Assess the validity of local differences between the Corporate SMS Manual and between other Units SMS Manuals nationally.


______________________________________________________________________________________
